    As someone from a country with functioning police: It appears to me like the USA’s problem is that they don’t fund the police enough, especially their training.

    Here the first training for police takes two years, and after that they still regularly have to continue training. It’s a hard process and only the ones who’re suitable make it.

    In the USA it takes three months, of course your police doesn’t work properly. Defunding the police would absolutely not fix that.

      Defund the police originally meant “stop giving the local police departments high budgets for military surplus gear & vehicles”
